Ha! You are delightful! And I will be redeaming that coupon.

I am thinking that if I work on the dress during the weekends I'm home (with the sewing machine), the braces, headdress and sash at college, and then if I come down during (I know there's one) three day weekend and have you help me with the vest/armour... I might be possible to have that outfit done in 3 months. (When is Sakura Con again?)

Yes, she will, but it's best if she's solidly on my side for these sorts of things.
